⚠️ Why Special-Fare Trains Are Less Ideal
Reddit users and traveler feedback emphasize:
“Special trains run on ‘best effort, mercy and goodwill’… they frequently face long delays, operate with low-priority stock, and charge higher fares mistakenly viewed as premium service.” turn0reddit19turn0reddit23
Specials often use older ICF coaches, may lack AC, and are deprioritized operationally.
